    RANT: Attacks of Opportunity

    I recently put together some house rules for this that minimize the need for scatter diagrams and to hit rolls against hexes so I thought others might find them handy: *************************** There are two "hitting your friends" situations that I'll cover here. The normal D&D rules go...

    Richard Garfield on Luck

    There are certainly a lot more decisions for players to make now. In AD&D 1e you'd roll dice, assign stats, choose a race, then choose a class. Often that'd be all you need to do. However, that also just shoved a bunch of the number-crunching off the character sheet and onto various tables --...

    D&D 4E 4E - more rules or less?

    I think it will and should remain largely the same, but with a few areas streamlined due to the several years they've had to playtest the current rules.

    Neverwinter Nights 2!!!

    Frankly, all this talk about the technical wizardry underlying the game is very nice, but all that matters to me is that it looks good and it runs smoothly -- and it's not doing that. WH40K:DoW looks better and runs more smoothly, and it has larger maps and more guys on it. That said, NWN2...

    The issue here is the difference between necessary and sufficient conditions. Having a large portion of the market share is used to support that something might be a monopoly, but it's not sufficient for something to be a monopoly -- you also need things like other companies having a barrier to...

    If you examine the case I think you'll discover that you're not offering such a good example after all. Again, I'll offer a citation from the article at Roughlydrafted.com:

    EN World GameStore Closing

    Do you have any citations for this definition? I can think of few clauses more vague than "cause factual shifts in how that market operates and exists". As a single customer I cause factual shifts in how the PDF market operates and exists. Here's some that I found: -- FreeAdvice Website or...

    I must be missing that dictionary then. Seems that the vast majority of companies can easily sell elsewhere. The companies that most customers recognize can even forego selling via PDF altogether and take only a minor hit. OBS's only leverage is that it brings more customers to the table than...

    A bunch of publishers though, and several awfully big ones, have already said that the DTRPG rate was okay -- and even though they could get a lower rate out of what was the most well-known PDF vendor brand in the industry. I would think that in order for a movement to be effective you'd need to...

    Just a note that 364 is up -- I like that line in the thread title! http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0364.html

    Recommend TV Recorder Software

    I think if you go to the Hauppage website you can download WinTV for free. That came with my card and worked fine.

    DragonWing Games to Produce Bastion Press Titles

    Just want to say congratulations to Steve Creech and that it's great to see Bastion making sure that its material is finding its way into good hands. Putting Oathbound back in the hands of the writer is a very big-hearted thing to do.

    Masters of Arms question

    The forum gets lonely -- so having the occasional thread here keeps it warm! I didn't change much at all -- mainly removing any prerequisites or skills that no longer exsted in 3.5 I think you could run out of the 3.0 book just fine -- simply tell the players that if the prereq no longer...

    How did WoW dethrone Everquest?

    It blew out all previous expectations of how many subscribers a MMO could get even before the good news about how much fun it was could get around. That implies that Blizzard's excellent reputation combined with the Warcraft brand brought in a whole bunch of people who had previously not tried...

    RPG Web Profiler -- a new version of 3E Profiler -- is available through here for use on your own host or server. I'm not sure if it's got the d20 Modern sheet, but it does have others. http://www.planetadnd.com/3eprofiler/faq.php Edit to add: You can download the files needed to set it up...
